As some of you many have noticed recently from my signature, I watched my Harry Potter movies again.  I still love the movies when I watch them even though I do have some issues with things in later movies.

This one is a very good adaptation, and it takes the time to properly set things up.  I know that some people thought the movie was too long and didn't cut out enough, but I don't agree with that at all.  I love discovering the magical world along with Harry.  The cast is great and they all fit their characters so well.  Yes the child actors weren't the strongest at times, but they get better in later movies.  Some of the effects late in the movie don't look as good but that doesn't detract from my enjoyment.  There is a sense of wonder in the movie - and the next few - that is missing from the last few movies. 



I did post a review after I saw the movie in the theater.

While I have had this film in my collection for years... this is the first time I ever got around to watching it. I found it to be an entertaining film that was well worth the time put in to watch it... but I found it to be very predictable. Too predictable really. But the journey to get to the ending I already seen coming a mile away is enjoyable.There is many big names in this one, which also added to the enjoyment.
